Is this for real?????

So I have officially been unemployed for over a week. Even after the marathon 24hr packing and moving trip from Boston to Michigan it still does not exactly feel real. I keep expecting to head back to my apartment in Cambridge and then to the ZS Boston office. Knowing you can do something and then actually doing it are two totally different feelings. However, I am just as happy as I expected and then some.

I arrived to Brazil this morning and the start of this trip has been something totally unexpected. I had a 1 in 100 million encounter that makes me think these next few months will be very interesting.

The weather here is perfect and the beaches are amazing though I wish that I knew how to speak Portuguese. I feel so rude talking to everybody in English.

I suppose I should learn how to post pictures on this thing... That is my next task.

PS I am very unhappy that the Christ statue is under construction. The major landmark of Brazil... can I still cross Rio off my list of places to visit if I cannot this statue? That is TBD.

The Christ statue, as you call it is actually called Christo Rea. I am not sure if that is the way it's spelled but there is a statue that is identical to it in Mexico, across from
the G.M. automotive plant in Silao.
